The Flying Books School of Reading & Writing offers classes on criticism, journalism, fiction, memoir, writing for the Internet, and more — all taught by experienced writers and instructors, including Carl Wilson, Desmond Cole, Lynn Crosbie, Russell Smith, and more. The school is guided by poet and English Lit professor Adam Sol, and meets at the Gladstone Hotel on Tuesday evenings.

I loved the class. Through the assignments, I was able to begin the work of developing my style. . . . [The instructor] was super, super prepared for each class. It was almost hard to keep up. I knew exactly why he was having us read what he had us read, and the discussions were always structured. 
